## Pagos AI Best Practices

To get the most out of Pagos AI, we suggest following theses best practices:

* **Be specific** - Include relevant dimensions, time periods, and filters in your questions (e.g. What is my approval rate for Visa credit card transactions in Q1?)
* **Verify important insights** - Cross-check critical findings using direct data views in Pagos Insights
* **Ask for clarification** - If Pagos AI makes assumptions, ask it to explain its reasoning
* **Report issues** - [Contact Pagos Support](mailto:support@pagos.ai) if you encounter incorrect information or unexpected behavior
* **Use appropriate features** - For transaction exports or raw data, use the appropriate platform tools rather than asking the AI
